Cresnet 4-Channel Digital Volume Control Crestron C2N-VEQ4 Input and output connections are completely independent of each other. Therefore, it is possible to have a balanced input paired with an unbalanced output and vice-versa. The treble and bass controls are independent from volume and are individually controlled for each channel. Each channel includes a muting relay with 100 dB attenuation. When the signal driving Mute1 goes high, the muting circuit is activated providing 100 dB atte
